The '''Ram 1500 REV''' (Revolution Electric Vehicle) is a battery electric full-size light-duty truck based on the [[Engineering:Ram Pickup (fifth generation)|fifth generation Ram]], announced in July 2021 and first revealed to the public as a concept vehicle in January 2023.

In July 2021, Stellantis announced the ongoing development of an electrified Ram pickup as part of Stellantis EV DAY 2021, including early concept drawings of the vehicle, and stating that a full size battery electric Ram would arrive by 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Panait |first=Mircea |date=July 8, 2021 |title=2024 Ram 1500 Electric Pickup Truck Reconfirmed at Stellantis EV Day 2021 |url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/2024-ram-1500-electric-pickup-truck-reconfirmed-at-stellantis-ev-day-2021-164968.html |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=autoevolution |language=en}}</ref> There is also reference to a future [[Engineering:Range extender|range-extender]] [[Engineering:Plug-in hybrid|plug-in hybrid]] model.<ref>{{Citation |title=Stellantis: EV DAY 2021, RAM |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGNmNj09o6g |language=en |access-date=February 14, 2023}}</ref>

Shortly after, the concept made its first physical appearance at the 2023 [[Engineering:Consumer Electronics Show|Consumer Electronics Show]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Korosec |first=Kirsten |date=January 8, 2023 |title=All the tech (and other flashy features) stuffed into the Ram 1500 Revolution EV truck |url=https://techcrunch.com/2023/01/08/all-the-tech-and-other-features-stuffed-into-the-all-electric-ram-1500-revolution/ |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=TechCrunch |language=en-US}}</ref> A press release by Stellantis stated that the vehicle would be based on their new STLA platform specifically designed for full-size body-on-frame EVs, will be powered by dual electric motors in an [[Engineering:All-wheel drive|all-wheel drive]] configuration, and will be based on an 800-volt architecture. It is claimed that the concept pickup offers 4 wheel steering, and charging speeds up to 350 kilowatts, which would allow for adding up to 100 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes of charging.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram 1500 Revolution Battery-electric Vehicle (BEV) Concept Unveiled at CES 2023 {{!}} Stellantis |url=https://www.stellantis.com/en/news/press-releases/2023/january/ram-1500-revolution-battery-electric-vehicle-bev-concept-unveiled-at-ces-2023 |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=www.stellantis.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram's fully electric 1500 due 2024, uses 800V charging |url=https://driving.ca/auto-news/auto-shows/first-look-ram-1500-revolution-bev-concept-full-electric-2024 |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=driving |language=en-CA}}</ref>

In February 2023, a commercial "Premature Electrification" was shown during the 2023 Super Bowl, humorously parodying [[Medicine:Premature ejaculation|premature ejaculation]] advertisements in referring to EV adoption hurdles such as [[Engineering:Range anxiety|range anxiety]], and featuring Canadian-American actor Jason Jones.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Stellantis Media - Ram Truck Brand Reveals Highly Anticipated All-new, All-electric Ram 1500 REV in 60-Second 'Premature Electrification' Big Game Commercial, Opens Up Online Reservations |url=https://media.stellantisnorthamerica.com/newsrelease.do?id=24640&mid=1 |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=media.stellantisnorthamerica.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrifcation' |url=https://www.autoblog.com/2023/02/12/ram-1500-rev-super-bowl-commercial-premature-electrification/ |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=Autoblog |language=en}}</ref> The commercial reveals for the first time a pre-production model that shares much of its exterior and interior with the current fifth generation Ram pickup, with appearance changes to most notably the front fascia.<ref>{{Citation |title="Premature Electrification" {{!}} Ram Trucks |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaUoJUdTk4 |language=en |access-date=February 14, 2023}}</ref> The ad also confirms the shortened name of Ram REV (said as "rev"), availability in the US expected in late 2024, and "Range-lengthening technology to come later".

== Description ==
As of February 2023, what has been revealed of the REV shows the truck being based on the [[Engineering:Ram Pickup (fifth generation)|fifth-generation Ram]], sharing much of its exterior and interior styling with the standard internal combustion model.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shakir |first=Umar |date=February 13, 2023 |title=Ram 1500 REV loses the prototype's gimmicks and looks like an electric Ram |url=https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/13/23597710/stellantis-ram-1500-rev-super-bowl-ad-reveal |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=The Verge |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram 1500 REV electric truck photos show it's no design revolution |url=https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1138729_ram-1500-rev-electric-truck-photos |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=Green Car Reports |language=en}}</ref> Most notably altered is the front fascia of the vehicle, to improve aerodynamics as there is no need for a large grille opening. The REV features unique headlights, front bumper, and hood to accommodate the [[Engineering:Trunk (car)|front trunk]] ("frunk"). The rear of the truck also has unique differences such as taillights that extend onto the tailgate. A single charge port is located on the front left fender of the vehicle, containing a [[Engineering:Combined Charging System|CCS Combo]] connector and charging status indicator LEDs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ram 1500 REV {{!}} First-Ever Ram Electric Truck |url=https://www.ramtrucks.com/revolution/ram-1500-rev.html |access-date=February 14, 2023 |website=ramtrucks |language=en-US}}</ref>
